WPAN

   Also found in: Acronyms, Wikipedia 0.04 sec.

(Wireless Personal Area Network) A wireless network that is typically limited to a small cell radius. In an office environment, a WPAN would be used to transfer data between a handheld device and desktop machine or printer. For example, a mobile user could download e-mail or Web data into a dual mode smartphone or PDA and then exchange that data with a machine in the office. In the home, WPANs provide cable-free connections for alarms, appliances and entertainment systems. See UWB, 802.15, Bluetooth, HomeRF and wireless LAN.
